Note from the author: Konnichiwa minna! Ayako-chan with some more Kamichama Karin!
I hope you liked my last chapter! It was a blast! Sorry it took a long time to update, I was so worked up about finding a partner for Himeka-chan that I almost died! I also read all the Kamichama series plus the sequel, Kamichama Karin Chu. So I got a sense of how to write the next parts. Karin and Kazune actually got married! (I think…) Also, check out my future story of my Kamichama Karin!
Luck Always Comes Your Way
Chapter 7: The Spring Fling Part 2
Note: it's very heartwarming and fluffy, of course!
The trees swayed. The grass whistled. The silenced engulfed them. Neither knew how to respond or begin.
A light sniffle broke the ice. Kazune looked up in alarm to see transparent crystals form in his lover's eyes. Kazune's eyes and heart tightened to see Karin crying or in pain. He reached out a hand, then hesitated.
Karin spoke first. "K-Kazune-kun…you do know Himeka-chan loves you, you do know right?"
She stuttered.
"Yes…I found out a month ago, but I didn't tell you, I'm sorry…" The sun god replied sadly.
Karin smiled under her bangs. I can't win, she thought.
"No…" She said. "Don't be, Kazune-kun. I should be the one apologizing to you. Himeka-chan should be the one with you. Not me. I can't compare myself to her. She deserves you. I don't."
"Karin-" Kazune started.
"NO! STOP IT! She's smarter, prettier, and better! She loves you, Kazune-kun! I can't hurt her anymore, not after all the things she's done for me! I don't want her to be hurt any longer!" Karin screamed, tears now streaming down her shining eyes.
"Karin! Why can't you listen to me-" Kazune growled in frustration.
"NO! DON'T SAY IT! SHE'S THE ONE FOR YOU! I'M SO SORRY FOR CAUSING YOU SO MUCH PAIN!" And with that, Karin turned on her heels to run back to her room.
"Karin! Matte!" Kazune called out, running after her. He could see her up ahead. Drops of her shattered heart scattered and her two pigtails dancing behind her back.
Karin attempted to block Kazune from entering her room, but he ducked just in time, winding up on the floor, wincing.
"Karin…" He stated, taking slow steps towards her. Karin's breathing had become short, meaning she wasn't in a good mood.
"Karin, I understand your friendship with Himeka, she will understand, and soon she will find the one she is destined to be with-"
"No you don't understand! You'll never stand what our friendship is like-"
"I DO UNDERSTAND!" Kazune shouted. He forced her head up, looking at her square in the eye. His other hand wrapped around her waist, binding her to him. Karin tried to tug out, but knowing it's useless to escape his embrace.
His eyes softened and calmed down.
"Karin, I understand all of the feelings, emotions and happiness of your friendship with her,"
Kazune's voice quieted down to a hiss.
"Himeka knows that I know she loves me, but she will understand, she's a strong girl. One day she will be truly happy with the one that she loves, and if she didn't, we will help her find one.
I love her, but Karin, I cannot live without you. I'll protect you forever, you and Himeka."
"Kazune-kun…" Karin whispered.
"Karin, I love you, you know I do. I promise I won't even look at another woman as long as I have you. I'll love you even when we die and go to heaven." Kazune assured, loosening his grip on her.
"Kazune-kun!" Karin cried, as she flung herself into his arms and began to cry uncontrollably.
He smiled lightly, whispering a prayer to god. She was finally his, won after many months of waiting and arguing. Kazune stroked her hair and patted her back to quiet her down.
"Aw geez! Watch the suit! You don't want this shirt to be soaked, now would you?" Kazune teased as he dried her tears. Karin glared at him, then smiled warily. "Arigato Kazune-kun."
10 minutes later
Kazune waited down by the staircase, having changed his tear-soaked shirt into another white one.
Arrgh, we're already running late, her thought. What's taking her so long?
Then he heard sharp but soft steps come down the stairs. Karin's steps.
"There you are! What's taking you so-" Kazune didn't finish his sentence. There, on the grand staircase, stood Karin.
Surrounded by a whirl of light, the goddess had worn a sleeveless snow white gown, complete with little frills and laces. Beads of silver glittered around her like a decorated Christmas tree.
Two medium-length long laces supported her dress to her neck. On her hands were translucent long gloves and almost-like glass slippers on her feet. She had taken off her olive hair ties and in its place, was a pure white headband, with frills dancing around it.
Karin had no makeup, but her face glowed like the sun.
"W-Well, what do you think?" Karin asked shyly, taking shaky steps towards him. He quickly ran the rest of the way and guided her down.
"You look…" Kazune murmured. "Pretty? Nice? Great? Beautiful?" Karin replied, trying to finish his sentence for him.
Background: playing the happy dance….
"No." Kazune said.
Background: music suddenly stops….
"What? Kazune-kun you idiot! How dare you say that to me! Say hello to my fist!" Karin screamed, her hands twirled up into a bun. However, she was still not too used to high heels and tripped on a step.
Karin prepared for the worst. I'm going to die! She thought as she squeezed her eyes shut.
Then she felt it. I didn't die? She asked. Turning her head, she saw Kazune grabbing her from behind the waist to stop her.
"You all right?" Kazune asked, worry shown on his face. "KAZUNE-KUN!" Karin shouted in happiness, throwing herself on him and beginning to cry.
"Oof! Hey! Watch the rain here!" Kazune huffed, getting up and brushing her tears away.
"What I wanted to say was," His voice melted in her ears. "You looked like an angel, or a princess."
Karin blushed red. "I-I-I never knew you would comment m-me like that," She bowed, still blushing pink. He smirked. "You don't want me to compliment you then?" He said huskily.
"N-No! W-What I wanted to say was that you didn't usually comment me like that," Karin said lamely.
"Oh? But this is only the beginning," Kazune taunted, his eyes shining mischievously. His arms began to tickle around her slender waist and his breath curled all over her face. Her face began to heat up.
"U-Um…Kazune-kun? H-How about we look for H-Himeka-chan okay? Y-Yea let's look for her!" Karin pushed, trying to change the subject.
"Oh yea, there was a note addressed to us on the kitchen counter, but I didn't read it yet," Kazune wondered. Karin raced to the kitchen and folded the note.
Dear Karin-chan and Kazune-kun,
If you're wondering where I am, I'm at the Spring Fling.
Don't worry, I'm not alone. I'm with my friend, Hiro-kun.
Hiro is a very nice guy and has offered to take me to the Fling.
I'll introduce you to him after he takes me home.
Kazune-kun, he's not a bad guy and I've been meeting him for 3 months.
I'm sorry that I haven't told you this earlier, but it was a surprise!
Don't worry, I'm all right and I'll be home by 8:00.
Love,
Himeka
P.S. I heard you guys talking about your relationship. Don't worry Karin-chan, I understand. I'm not hurt, and I think Hiro-kun has godly powers of his own!
Karin's eyes were wide with surprise. Beside her, Kazune was frowning. He didn't trust this Hiro with Himeka. He's very eager to meet him.
TBC………..
